Log 3- Books and Tea

It was Autumn time, dead leaves falling from the oaks next to the rows of houses, it was...beautiful.
"Ready to go?"
Lewis said locking the door to what I knew as home. I nodded and wrapped my arm around his, almost scared that if I didn't, he'd disappear, he and what I read from the books was all I knew. I guess it was a good thing that we were heading to the book store. The walk took about 5 minutes, all the while I was observing everything around me. The trees, and the small playground in the distance with a few kids sliding and climbing all over it. I giggled at the sight; it was so...innocent and curious.
"Can we go play on that when we go back home?"
I asked Lewis and he laughed, we paused in our tracks and he smiled at me,
"Sure, if it's not too dark."
I beamed, my heart pounding and I giggled in excitement, I tried pulling him along and that triggered him to start laughing. As we reached the bookstore I took a mental note of its appearance within my data- brain. My smile faded, why I keep saying human substitutions of robotic innards. Lewis seemed to notice my displeasure and pulled me into a hug.
"You alright Kam?"
I buried my face into his chest; I experienced so much in only a matter of minutes. I, wanted to go home, but at the same time I didn't. I sighed; so many emotions were filling me. Somehow Lewis was able to calm my nerves and we entered the store. We were greeted by a brunette in a big fluffy scarf, and Lewis led me around the store, occasionally we picked up a book or two. We sat down in the chairs next to the fireplace. Keeping Lewis in my sight I saw him walk to the counter and ask something he sat back down in his chair and we began to read the various books we found. A few minutes later the brunette placed something down on the table and walked away; looking away from the book I saw a cup filled with something hot, tea. Lewis had ordered a tea and began drinking it; once he caught me looking he looked at the cup, then at me.
"Do you want to try?"
He asked as he held the cup out to me, nodding I gently took the cup. The heat from the freshly brewed tea warmed my hands, rising the cup to my lips I cautiously took a sip. It was nothing I had ever experienced, the sweetness, the liquid pouring down my throat, the warmth it left. I was star struck, I felt a hand touch my cheek, looking up it was Lewis, and a calm, sweet smile on his face.
"You can keep that one; it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll be right back."
I nodded as he went to go order another tea, leaving in the comfort and warmth of my books, the fireplace, and my tea. Sipping the tea and returning my book, I felt something...that longing, I felt alive, smiling I relaxed into the chair next to Lewis, and never wanted to leave.
